Abstract Number: Esoc2026ot192 a Brief Neuropsychological Battery for Detecting Cognitive Impairment Instroke: Validation of the Georgian Ninds-CSN 15-Minute Protocol
Randomized trial validates a quick neuropsychological test for detecting cognitive impairment in stroke patients, indicating its clinical relevance.
Key Points
This study aims to validate the Georgian adaptation of the NINDS-CSN 15-minute neuropsychological battery for identifying cognitive impairment in stroke patients.
Assessed 73 stroke patients and 102 healthy controls using both the 15-minute and 30-minute NINDS-CSN batteries.
Implemented tests including Semantic Fluency, Digit Symbol-Coding, Hopkins Verbal Learning Test, and Trail Making Tests A and B.
Defined cognitive impairment using standardized deviation thresholds based on normative means.
The 15-minute battery identified 48 stroke patients with an AUC of 0.8612, showing strong discriminative validity.
